I don’t exactly know what I want to major in but I really am worried about college. Okay, this might be long but bear with me please! I don’t necessarily get the whole entire college process. I want to know as much as possible so I can get into a good college. I probably need a scholarship because my family can’t really afford to pay. Please answer my question. I need as man as possible.

okay financial aid is any money that goes towards the payment of your college debt. it can be loans, grants, and scholarships. most people get financial aid through FAFSA (free application for something aid). grants and scholarships can be both need and merit based and do not have to be paid back. loans have to be paid back with interest, but the good thing with students loans is that they can be deferred until after graduation.
to get into a good college, always keep your GPA above a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale and shoot for above a 24 on the ACT (or the equivalent on an SAT).
The best way to get through college cheaply is to go to a community college for the first year or two and then transfer to another school. I am currently at a community college and loving every moment of it.
I firmly believe that it is the best way to get into a *good* college. I had offers to go to a private school in Indiana, but turned it down, for what seems to be the same issue that you are having, money.
Go to a community college.
You won’t regret it.
